ok i cant thing of what you call them but you know them lights on top of the diesels. the little orange lights on top of the cab. yeah you know well anyways. ....... anyone ever seen them put on a ranger? thought maybe it would look kinda cool and unique for a small truck. got any pictures if you do know of one? or would you put them on your lifted ranger? what you think?

 

chicken lights...AKA, Cab Lights

 

was jw the same thing myself, im really interested to see some pics...

 

thats what i thought they were called. but nothin came up when i looked them up so i wasnt 100% sure. but would they look good on a ranger? i didnt think they could ever look good on my buddy jeep j10 but they ended up lookin bad @$$! i couldnt believe it! thought it might be the same way with a lifted ranger. maybe?

 

3/4 down the page. silver ranger.

like those?

 

Cab lights are cool, but I prefer a visor with the lights recessed in them (much like the one on my truck).

FYI, installing them requires drilling holes in your cab. If you don't want to screw it up, spend the money to have somebody do it. I kick myself every day for installing my visor myself. It'll get fixed someday, though.

 

didnt andy (i think is his name (the minnesotan)) do this?

 

AKA clearance lights
you know, I had the same thought. I have only found one pic of a ranger with them... (his are clear)




I bought some and they are sitting on my desk... I've had them for like a year and never got around to the install... but this is what they look like.



Some people bash saying they don't belong on a 'little' truck, but I think they are really cool.

 

i have actually seen them on a ranger. i friend of a friend came up to play in the mtns with us and his was a lifted dark red ranger. they were the amber ones and actually looked really good.i have always thought about putting them on the truck myself but can never bring myself to do it.

 

cab clearance lights only look good on high lifted rangers.

I had those oval shaped clearance lights on our farm truck. I wouldn't install those particular ones again. The thin foam gasket melts from the bulb being on and creates a mess. Mine were made by optronics.

 

That is good to know, these are the optronics ones. Did you have any other problems? like If I made new gaskets for them would it then be ok?

 

LED's would cure that issue.

 

YOU LED FREAK^^^..Gosh not everyone can mod LEDs to everything...i dont even on a soldering iron..

 

hahaha! well...most of those have replaceable bulbs, and you get get LED replacements...usually 194's.

 

i have some on my visor and i like they way they look at night all light up

sorry i only have crappy pics

 

i got a kind of better pic but still crappy because its on my phone

 

Looks terrible IMO

 

They look bad on big trucks...

Even worse on small ones.

 

thats old school man. If you put them on then ur commited to dual 8' whips and straight pipes.

 

I saw a Dakota with the non-lighted visor but added lighting to it. Pretty swell. Can you take a pic of the just the lamps you used? I gave my non-lighted one to a friend, and he wants to make it lighted.

 

yes there called Dome Lights im looking to get some on my truck also...every brand has a diffrent shade of orange and i think chevy or dodge has a yellow color, i might have found some sites searching ford ranger dome lights? but i havent botherd getting any yet

 

Hey Mr. Thread Digger,

Dome lights are on the inside of your truck on the headliner. These are cab clearance lights or just cab lights.

 

hahaha they dont look bad
